Overview of this book

The reader will learn how to use React and its component-based architecture in order to develop modern user interfaces. A new holistic way of thinking about UI development will establish throughout this book and the reader will discover the power of React components with many examples. After reading the book and following the example application, the reader has built a small to a mid-size application with React using a component based UI architecture. The book will take the reader through a journey to discover the benefits of component-based user interfaces over the classical MVC architecture. Throughout the book, the reader will develop a wide range of components and then bring them together to build a component-based UI. By the end of this book, readers would have learned several techniques to build powerful components and how the component-based development is beneficial over regular web development.

Summary


In this chapter, we looked at a few methods that we could use to make our components (and general architecture) open to extension without requiring core modification. There's a lot to take in here and not nearly enough community standardization for this to be the final word on pluggable components. Hopefully, there's enough here for you to design the right plugin architecture for your application.

In the next chapter, we will look at various ways to test the components and classes that we've built so far. We'll continue to see the benefits of things, such as dependency injection and service location, while also learning about a few new tools.
